XV PREFATORY NOTE If^S^ HE present exhibition of Ancient Egyptian Art has been gathered together and arranged by a joint committee of the Club and of members of the Egyptian Exploration Society. The interval of five-and-twenty years that has passed since the Club held an exhibition of the kind, has not only seen great changes in the condition of such studies, but is also long enough to produce a new generation of collectors and of others interested in the earlier phases of man's culture. The tendency of to-day towards the primitive, whether in the absolute or relative sense, is, like every popular phase, capable of dangerous exaggeration, and the danger is the greatest where the apostles of new cults are as limited in knowledge as in other directions, except that of vocal expression. The truly primitive in Egyptian art holds but a small place in the present exhibition, and in its presentments and methods seems so remote from the later and accepted styles that some authorities even suggest an independent origin. But whether the two are connected by the processes of evolution or not, they have at least the bond of country. The later and normal art of Egypt doubtless seems to the more casual observer to have remained for centuries in a crystallized state. Careful study shows that this is by no means the case. Nothing, in fact, is so remarkable in any country, except perhaps in China, as the strength xvii ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART and virility of the productions of the earlier dynasties as compared with later work. In China, however, art eventually fell to a lower degree of mere prettiness than is ever found in Egypt. It is unquestionable that no true idea of the real grandeur of the art of ancient Egypt can be formed except by visiting the country. But, short of that, the present exhibition may claim to be a very compre- hensive exposition of what her long-dead artists and craftsmen could do in the minor arts; of a few pieces in the gallery even more might be said. The Exhibition Committee desire to put on record their indebtedness to Mr. Percy E. Newberry and Dr. H. R. Hall for the admirable work they have done in cataloguing the exhibition. C. H. R. XVUl INTRODUCTION ,T has been a dogma of writers on art that a "work which can be proved to serve any utilitarian, non-aesthetic object must not be considered as a genuine work of art," If this test were appHed to the productions of the Ancient Egyptian studios or workshops, then it would have to be confessed at once that no "genuine" works of art were produced by the dwellers on the banks of the Nile. The Egyptians were an eminently practical people, and their art was the outcome of the practical business of life. Possessing in a high degree the decorative instinct, they delighted to ornament the objects of everyday life — the weapons with which they fought, the vessels from which they drank, the houses in which they dwelt. But they were not idealists like the Greeks, they did not seek to generalize and to idealize the human figure. They endeavoured to copy nature, to transcribe it; they were realists. In some features the art was also fantastic, for the artist produced hybrid creatures that existed only in his imagination. Some of the gods were originally animals, and in course of time they became anthropomorphic ; they were conceived as animal-headed with human bodies, and are so represented in the paintings and sculptures. But the result was in a sense realistic, for both the animal head and the human body were direct transcripts from nature. It is the same with the sphinxes, only in these fantastic creatures the process xix ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART was reversed, a human head on the body of an animal, but both were equally faithful copies from nature. Apart from the decorative instinct that is common to all the people of the world, two main motives appear to have underlain the work of Egyptian artists. The first was the desire to convey information. This motive is most clearly shown in the paintings and sculptures in low reHef. Nearly all the paintings and sculptured reliefs on the walls of the temples are accompanied by hieroglyphic legends, which are explanatory of the scenes. Above or at the side of a figure of a man is written his name and titles. If some action is represented, then this action is described. If the Pharaoh is depicted smiting an enemy, then the name of the Pharaoh and the name of his foe will be given. It is curious to see how picture-signs are used to explain the larger pictures. The hieroglyphic signs themselves are small conventionally drawn pictures of natural or artificial objects; the hieroglyphic system of writing is itself a picture system. Writing originated in drawing. The Egyptian artist was necessarily a draughtsman before he became a scribe. The picture-sign denoting "painter" — a palette with colours and brushes — means also a " scribe." That the main purpose of the paintings and sculptures in low relief was to convey information, not simply to portray what is beautiful, is very clearly shown by this intermingling of the descriptive legends among the figures and scenes. The second motive underlying Egyptian Art was a religious one, based on the belief that when a man died his spirit, the counterpart of the body, lived on in a spirit world, a world conceived to be similar in all respects to that from which the dead man had departed. As the spirit could have "no existence without some kind of body to reside in, and as the earthly body would decay and fall into dust, a substitute had to be provided for it. This substitute was the statue — "Spirit-statue" it was called in Egyptian — which was carved and painted so as to resemble the dead man. The sculptor was named the "Vivifier," and XX INTRODUCTION the word denoting the act of carving a statue meant also "to give birth," to create. This materialistic conception of the after-life gave rise to the elaborate burial ceremonies which are so often represented on the monuments. The spirit statue had naturally to be provided with a spirit residence, hence the house modelled on the earthly dwelling that was erected over the pit in which the dead man's body was interred. The spirit house had to be furnished, hence the furniture that was buried in the tomb. The dead man had to be provided with a staff of attend- ants, hence the statuettes of the servants engaged in their several occupations that are found in the tombs of the Pyramid Age and Middle Kingdom. The paintings and sculptured reliefs in the tombs were due to the same belief; they were spirit pictures, and the dead man could by the help of magical formulae enjoy the life that is depicted in the scenes. It was by this means that the spirit could engage in the hunting of wild animals, play games, watch his artificers at work, inspect his fields, and employ himself in the various occupations of daily life. This was the idea that underlay all the paintings in the tombs ; the arts of painting and sculpture were thus partly the product of man's early religious beliefs. When the last Exhibition of the Art of Ancient Egypt was organized by this Club nothing was known of Egyptian Art prior to the beginning of the Pyramid Age. To-day its history can be traced back to the begin- ning of the Dynastic Period, but the skill displayed in the execution of the monuments of this early time shows that in most cases the secret of the origins and earliest development still evades us. It is sometimes said that the Dynastic Art is only a development of that of Prehistoric Egypt. In a certain sense this is doubtless true, but it is not true in the sense in which it is usually understood. Prehistoric Egypt is as yet only known to us from monuments that have been found on sites south of the apex of the Delta, and a comparison of these monuments with those of the 1st Dynasty discovered at Hierakonpolis, Abydos, and elsewhere in Upper xxi ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART Egypt, clearly shows that there is no relationship whatever between the earlier and the later art. If we compare the drawing of the men and women on the Pre-dynastic vases shown in Case B, Nos. 27 and 31, with the drawing of the King and his captive on the ivory label of the 1st Dynasty in Case T, No. 8, we see how differently the human figure is treated by the artists of the two periods, and that a wide gulf separates the prehistoric from the historic art. The series of carvings in the round in ivory and in stone, discovered at Hierakonpolis and at Abydos, many of which are now in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, are masterpieces of the art of sculpture, and there is nothing wherewith to compare them from prehistoric sites. The cutting of the hieroglyphs in the 1st Dynasty is as fine as any that succeeded it. In the art of glazing pottery and tiles (Case B, No. 17) the Egyptians had also attained a high proficiency as early as the beginning of the historic age. The truth is that Egyptian Art, that is to say the art of Dynastic Egypt, suddenly makes its appearance in Upper Egypt thoroughly formed, and no trace has been found of its origins or early development on Upper Egyptian soil. It is the same with the hieroglyphic writing. No trace has been found of it in Upper Egypt prior to the beginning of the 1st Dynasty, and yet when it first appears it is fully fledged. It may be even questioned whether the hieroglyphic system originated in Egypt, but whether it did so or not, there can be no doubt that its earliest use was in the Delta; the personal names and titles that occur on the monuments found at Abydos and Naqada point to the North-western Delta. It is this part of Egypt that we know so little about, but there are certain indications in the art products of the beginning of the 1st Dynasty which tend to show that the Delta people were far more cultured than the southerners who conquered them. Sir Gaston Maspero called this earliest Dynastic art " Thinite," but it is much more probable that the '* Thinite" artisans derived their processes and their inspiration, not from preceding generations of Upper Egyptians, but from Delta xxii INTRODUCTION schools. In studying the history of Egyptian Art this fact must always be borne in mind : scarcely anything is really known about the conditions in, or the civilization of, the North-western Delta in early times. It is known that Menes conquered this part of Egypt ; there are references to the cult of Neith of Sais, and to the country round about that famous city at the beginning of the 1st Dynasty. In the Ilird Dynasty there are records of administrative posts being held by officials in the nomes of the North-western Delta. There are inscriptions of the reign of Sahure that relate to the wealth and prosperity of this region. Neb-hatep-re Mentuhotep and Amenemhet I found it necessary to subjugate its people. A single Xllth Dynasty tomb has recently been found at Kom el Hisn (the ancient Amu, capital of the Libyan nome), but this is the earliest known monument that has as yet been brought to light from the North- western Delta. After the Middle Kingdom no references are found to any part of this side of the Delta until the XXI I nd Dynasty, and then with the XXVIth Dynasty Sais becomes the capital of the whole country and the centre of a great school of art. Whether the population here was Egyptian in the ordinary sense of the word cannot be determined, but there are indications that throughout Egyptian history the people were highly skilled in several of the arts, and that there radiated from this source from time to time streams of new influences of very high quality, especially in ornamental motives, architecture, and sculpture, in ceramics and glass-making, in jewellery, in weaving, and probably also in painting. That this Delta art was not entirely of Delta origin is certain, some features of it were borrowed from a foreign source. There is a remark- able resemblance between some of the monuments of early Egypt and early Babylonia, but as yet we have no clear evidence that these two civilizations of the East were actually in touch with one another in the fourth millennium B.C. It is much more probable that there was a common source from which both Babylonia and Egypt drew their inspiration. One fact is very significant in this connection. The palaces of the early kings xxiii d ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART of the Delta were built of coniferous wood hung with tapestry-woven mats; this is a style of architecture that could not have originated in Egypt, but must have arisen in a country where the necessary timber was ready at hand. We know that in the Pyramid Age, and later, the Egyptians drew their supplies of timber from the Lebanon region, and it was probably here that the particular style of architecture referred to originated. It is a style quite unsuited to a hot and windy climate such as Egypt ; as early as the reign of King Den the palaces of this type were beginning to be built of wattle and daub in combination with wood, and by the end of the Pyramid Age the style disappears entirely, though the memory of it was preserved in the False Doors of the tombs and stelae. The royal tomb at Naqada, which is not later than the reign of Aha, the second king of the 1st Dynasty, is built of brick in imitation of one of these wooden palaces, and smaller tombs of the same kind are known from the Ilnd and Ilird Dynasties, but not later. Brick buildings similar to those of the palace style of Egypt are also known from early Babylonia, and were at one time regarded as peculiarly characteristic of Sumerian architecture. These obviously must have been copied, like the Egyptian, from earlier timber forms. In Babylonia, as in Egypt, timber was scarce, and there are records that it was sometimes obtained from the coast of Syria. It is not improbable, therefore, that the Sumerians borrowed this style of architecture from the Lebanon. At Tarkhan, some thirty-seven miles south of Cairo, were found pieces of house timbers dating from the Ilird Dynasty; these have holes pierced through their sides which show that the planks were sewn together and not nailed or pinned. On the Slate Palette of Narmer (Menes) reference is made to a "Great Port," lit. " Great Door," which was somewhere near the Canopic mouth of the Nile. A port implies shipping and trade relations with people dwelling along the coast or across the sea. If the Egyptians themselves did not send out ships to the Syrian coast they were certainly visited by Syrian sailors. The earliest sea-going vessels of which we have any record were xxiv INTRODUCTION named kbnyt from kbn Byblos, the port of the Lebanon where they were built and from whence they sailed. These ships were constructed of planks of coniferous wood sewn together in precisely the same way as the timber constructed houses. We may, therefore, not unreasonably look to Syria as having had some influence on the earliest Dynastic Art of Egypt. Turning to the objects exhibited in the gallery, we have a remark- able series of masterpieces illustrating the art of the sculptor from the 1st Dynasty down to Ptolemaic times. In Case B, No. ii, there is the y).j^^ ?", portrait of a King of the 1st Dynasty, which is the oldest portrait head in the world. In Case Q, No. 35, there is a portrait of Khafre, the builder '■^- *^' of the Second Pyramid at Gizeh. On the chimney-piece is the bust of an ^ * U( Egyptian lady of the IVth Dynasty. In Case G, No. 24, is the famous portrait of Amenemhet III, cut in obsidian with a skill little short of rirt^^'i marvellous. Other portraits of the same King are exhibited on the \\_n,!., / chimney-piece and in Case O, No. 19. The head of Senusret III, Case O, ni ^y, ■ No. 41, in red quartzite sandstone, is another masterpiece of the sculptor's art of the Xllth Dynasty. Of the XVIIIth Dynasty there are several portrait heads, the fragment of the face of Queen Nofretete in "^.^y, yellow jasper, Case O, No. 40, being especially noteworthy. The Seben- nyte head in Case Q, No. 37, is of interest for the style of its period. Of the statuettes grouped in Case S the student should particularly note the h , , . ^ gold figure of the god Amon in the likeness of Thutmose III (No. 11), the small electrum figure of a boy (No. 2), and the little negress in ebony (No. 3). For sculpture in bas-relief the visitor should observe the portraits of Thutmose III and Queen Tiy on the right-hand side of the East ' 'l&^>C! x Wall, and the extraordinarily delicate carving of the panels of an ivory ^^ ^^ ' ., casket in Case T, No. 13. In specimens of Ceramic Art this Exhibition is very rich; no such collection of superb objects has ever before been gathered together in one room. The characteristic blue of Egyptian faience is well represented. In Case B, No. 17, is shown a blue faience tile of the 1st Dynasty. XXV ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART Case P are four examples (Nos. 4, 6, 11, and 48) of the Xllth and Xlllth Dynasties ; in Case J is a large bowl (No. 10) of the late XVI Ith Dynasty, and other specimens in the same case date from the XVI I Ith to the XXIst Dynasties. For brilliancy of colour the two fragments in Case P, Nos. 32 and 37, are unparalleled, and for the deeper blues note the sha- wabti figures in Case H. The chalices in Case S are of exquisite quality and workmanship. For specimens of blue faience of the later periods down to Roman times the student should refer to Cases H and D. Poly- chrome faience of the late XVI I Ith Dynasty is well represented in Case F, and in Case U is exhibited a series of hieroglyphs in vitreous paste that is unequalled in any museum of the world. Egypt is the parent of glass, and the examples shown in Case G demonstrate how successful the glassmakers were in obtaining the most brilliant colours. The intricate handling of this material may be well seen in the mosaics arranged on the lower shelf. On the left-hand side of the East Wall is hung a piece of linen fabric woven in various coloured threads. It is remarkable that this is the most ancient piece of such fabric known. Specimens of linen of the finest texture have come down to us from the Old Kingdom and later periods, but all the pieces, except this one, are self-coloured, not dyed. To show the extraordinary skill of the weavers of the XVI I Ith Dynasty, a coloured photograph of a fragment of a tapestry-woven corselet, bearing the pre- nomen of Amenhotep II, is hung below. This specimen is preserved in the Cairo Museum, and with it were found three smaller fragments of the same date. It is the very finest piece of tapestry weaving, yet there is no record of any earlier example. Nothing whatever is known of the early history of this craft. It is remarkable how many lacunae there are in the history of art in Ancient Egypt. The prototypes of the faience chalices shown in Cases J and S were clearly made of metal, but no trace has been found of them, although we know from paintings in the temples and tombs that such existed. Again, among xxvi INTRODUCTION the jewellery of the princesses of the late Xllth Dynasty found at Dahshur (some examples of which are exhibited in Case E), there occur two orna- mental finger rings which are now preserved in the Cairo Museum. One of these has ornaments of granulated gold work on the bezel, the other is decorated with coiled wire-work soldered on to a gold plate. These are the two earliest ornamental finger rings that have yet been discovered. Nothing comparable with them has been found in Egypt; it is only many hundreds of years later that we find similar rings in Greece and in Etruria. Where were these rings of the princesses of the Xllth Dynasty made? To answer this and many similar questions in the history of the art of Ancient Egypt it is necessary to carry out excavations in those parts of the country — particularly in the Delta — which have so far remained untouched by the spade of the archaeologist.

Pectoral of cloisonne work formed by soldering thin strips of gold upon a perforated gold plate, the cloisons thus created being filled in with carnelian, lapis lazuli, and turquoise, which are fixed with cement. The symbolism of the design is difficult to explain, but appears to consist of royal emblems, as in the case of other known pectorals. In the centre is the sceptre called Nehbet; facing it on each side is a bird standing on the hieroglyph signifying both gold and the sound-value nub. The bird is probably intended for the falcon of Horus, though the poise and the details do not conform to the usual representations of the falcon. If this explanation be correct, the king is here symbolized under the form of the falcon-god Horus vanquishing his enemy, the god Set of the town Nubet. At the top is the solar disk between the celestial falcon's eyes, known to the Egyptians under the name uzat. The rectangular framework termin- ates under the usat-^yes in papyrus-blossoms. At the back the gold plate carries fine incised lines representing the markings of the various emblems. The workmanship is at by no means the same high level as the jewellery discovered at Dahshur and at lUahun. H., i^inch; B., if inch. B. Lower portion of a finely designed and executed jewel of gold cloisonne work, inlaid with carnelian, lapis lazuli, and turquoise.

The topmost hieroglyph was the solar disk, which is lost; below this, partly preserved, is the beetle, which is winged ; and at bottom, the sun arising above the horizon. H., f inch; B., i inch, C.

The first man holds with his right hand a basket of fruit above his right shoulder, and a duck grasped by the neck in his left hand. Behind him is a short-horned calf wearing a collar, from which hangs a lotus flower. The second man balances with his left hand a basket of figs on his head ; from his left arm hangs a bunch of lotus flowers and buds with long stems; in his right hand is a rush basket. In 113 Q Case T] ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART front walks a stork. The third man leads another calf by a cord tied around its neck, and with his right hand balances a basket of fruit upon his head. From the right arm hangs by a cord a bag of figs. Only the lower part of the fourth panel is preserved. Height without tenons 6 inches, breadth 2 inches at top. The second panel is straight on the left side, but on the right projects f inch at 2^ inches from the base. The third panel has I inch projections at either side, 2^ inches from the base. The tenons measure 1 inch top and bottom, and on their backs have hieroglyphic signs as guides to the fitter. Were it not for certain points in the writing of the inscription on the top piece, there would be no question at all as to ascribing the casket to the Old Kingdom, or more precisely to the IVth or Vth dynasty. But as Dr. A. H. Gardiner points out, the inscription cannot be earlier than the Saite period,^ and as the inscription is certainly of the same date as the panel reliefs, it is to the Saite period that the casket may be assigned. Two panels figured by J. Capart, L'Ari Egyptien, 191 1, PI. CXCI, and there ascribed to Saite (?) period. Lent by the Rev. William MacGregor. Plate XXIII. 14 AXE-HEAD, bronze. Ornamentation, a central panel of pierced work representing two cynocephali apes between a papyrus column. On the blade is the name and title of the owner, " the Superintendent of the priests, the Ox-herd, Khu-meh." From Et Taraff, Thebes. Xllth dynasty. L., 3|- inches. Lent by the Earl of Caimarvon. 15 COMB, ivory; with top in the form of an ostrich. Early pre-dynastic period. L., 2,\ inches. Lent by the Senate of the University of London. ^ " This," Dr. Gardiner writes, " is proved by the use of the boat-sign for tin, by the writing mr.n. kior mrt.n.k, and indicated also by the spelling ht for hrt." Mr. Howard Carter points out that the position of the handle on the >4-basket, the form of the w?'-bird and the horizontal, not simpering mouths of the men in the reliefs, all conform to the conventions of the Old Kingdom, so that if on philological grounds the casket must be assigned to the XXVIth dynasty it is an extraordinary example of faithful archaism. 114 ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART [Case T i6 TOILET SET comprising: Mirror, bronze.

The flying falcon is from the top left-hand corner of the shrine. The hiero- glyphic signs are from the protocol of a king, probably Nekht-hor- heb (Nectanebo I). Each example is delicately modelled on the upper surface in low relief ; the backs are flat, and the polychrome inlay imitates the detail of the objects figured. The ground colour is pale blue, the inlay dark blue and red : some of the hieroglyphs have details in yellow and black glaze over the pale blue ground. These are the only perfect examples of their kind at present known, and are of extraordinarily fine technique and workmanship. From Ashmunen. XXXth dynasty.
